They say family always sticks together, but when you're the only daughter and the whole world - people, dragons and gods - wants you dead, "family bonds" take on a new meaning. My name is Opal, and I'm up to my neck in problems . I thought that by getting rid of the curse of failure, I would return everything to normal. Instead, I take care of the Great Dragon of Korea. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't being creepy, or if all the dragons in the world weren't out to kill him, or if he was my only problem. It turns out things can always get worse in the FDD. When a rival spirit attacks my deity boss, wanting to turn a city famous for freedom into death with Nick as his bloody champion, I find myself on the front lines. This is terrible, because when the gods fight, mortals usually do not survive. But this time I'm not alone. Even proud old dragons can learn new things, and with everything falling apart, the father I've always run from may be the only force that can save us.
